Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: All birds lay eggs – According to the given statements, it is clear that female birds lay eggs, but birds can be both male and female. So, it can be concluded that only some birds lay eggs not all. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion II: Some hens are birds – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing hens and birds overlap each other and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some hens are birds. Thus, this conclusion follows. Conclusion III: Some chickens are not hens – According to the given statements, it is clear that there is a possibility that some chickens may not be hens but it is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow.
